Login with Web Server
Wago 750-8215 CPU is used in my tutorial and we connected the LAN with X1 Port1.
The default setting is 0.0.0.0 and we can use the DHCP server to configure the IP address.
This DHCP server is used in my tutorial:
Open your browser and enter Https://your_Ip.
Enter your username and password.
Here is the default setting:
Admin:
Username:admin
Password:wago

Connect the LAN port with 750-8215 and use E!COCKPIT to scan the CPU.

And we will scan the Range from 192.168.3.1 to 192.168.3.254.
Click the Scan Button to search the 750-8215 CPU.
